Obliterating expectations, Universal’s Jurassic World roared to a record $204.6 million debut in North America. The revenue stampede rescues the action-adventure franchise from the brink of extinction 22 years after Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park first hit theaters.
Bestowed with an A CinemaScore, proves that dinosaurs are every bit as potent as superheroes: Jurassic World’s estimated weekend bests the $191.3 million launch of Avengers: Age of Ultron, making it the No. 2 domestic opening of all time, almost matching the $207.4 million launch of The Avengers in May 2012.
